In this hurting world where Satan rules, and the weight is heavy on the strain, believers can rise and shake away old dust, for with God, there is purpose in pain. (“But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.” 1Peter 5:10)
So, although we do suffer ailments and ills, and man turns our name to smear; God affords believers courage and reward, that we may push through drama and fear. ("For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory." 2Corintians 4:17)
Because in pain, we become more like Him; God’s Plan to teach us, and to help us grow; filling our hearts with His joy, while the world is reeling, and low. ("And not only that, but we glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character, and character, hope." Romans 5:3-4)
Because God's children, need to fix all eyes on Him, whether affliction be severe or mild, because we are His offspring in this life; every believing man woman and child. (“You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” 1John 4:4)
And God's strength gives flight to our wings, so happily, like eagles do we soar; reaching almost as high as heaven, in courage doth He bless us, to rebound forevermore. (“But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31)
How Gracious is He Who restricts Satan’s reign, of toils, of fears, and of lust, who reminds us to revel in knowledge of Him, Who miraculously made us from dust. (“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.” Genesis 2:7)
So, therefore, we can be brave in our anguish, so far from the ludicrous and the lame, so strong are we in our weakness; we are the conquerors who know His Name! (“Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” Romans 8:37) "He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength." (Isaiah 40:29)
